Walking the Straight and Narrow

Discovery Channel said about the author: "In the rarified world of aerialists, Tino Wallenda is royalty." With the eighth generation of the Wallendas now in the act and hundreds of years of spectacular circus tradition to uphold, the family has secured not only a place in history, but also a place in the Guinness Book of World Records with an Eight–Person Pyramid on the high wire, and a 2004 win at the prestigious Circus Festival at Monte Carlo. Tino Wallenda has "walked over dens of lions and tigers, between buildings, across rivers, and over a pool that contained more than 50 'man–eating' sharks." With all the fame and acclaim, however, he is best known for his simple, yet powerful, message of fearless faith breathtakingly delivered from the high wire.
